Orlando Bloom plays a barrister on Extras. I loved this short so darn much when I first saw it, because Orlando Bloom! as a lawyer! This is probably a perfect video on how not to do cross-examination: the prosecution (Orlando) and the defense counsel (his wife) end up making the fight personal (they're married), and the judge has quite enough and says, "I ORDER YOU BOTH TO KISS AND MAKE UP!"

So just remember, when things get tough! If Orlando Bloom can do it, YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

Movie Trailer love! Check out D-War - a Korean movie on dragons coming up soon that the sibling and I are definitely gonna catch. Official website here - the FX are genuinely A-grade. I do think it will be one of those movies in which I do not care about the plot, as long as it shows me a good time.

Neil Gaiman's Beowulf. I really would have preferred it as live-action, but one takes what one gets. Also, for no reason I can fathom, not just ONE, but BOTH, my siblings, want to watch Poltergay. *buries head in hands* Then I saw them looking at the I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry poster.

I don't mind being confinedTo LA State Prison'Cause I would drive with DUI'sI caused some collisions

They tell me now that my appeal has been denied (for some reason I find this the second funniest line)and that this sentence is now bona-fideHow bout a jail that won't insult my civic prideLike somewhere on the Upper West Sidewith a water slide......ohhh noooo

Even though they say I'm shadyI'm really so refinedI need a cleaning ladyI can't do time.

Robert Blake and OJ SIMPSONThey both get off scot-freeI drive without a licenseThey throw the book right at meIt sucks to the highest degree

I went ape, on a sex tapeThe guys all went ga-gaNow I, must make, my jail escapeI miss my Chihuahua

My friend Nicole drove down that freeway the wrong wayShe'll probably get parole and float awayBecause she weighs, Zeroooooo

Even though I got the glamourEven though my clothes are fabThey throw me in the slammerBritney gets re-hab.

They put me in the big houseSounds like a movie pitchHeiress goes up the riverEnds up as somebody's bitchThey can't do this to me, I'm rich (I find this the funniest line) And now I am digging a ditchMy roomate's a woman named Mitch!

Daniel Radcliffe on Extras. In which he as an actor desperately to impress the same lady Orlando Bloom attempted to impress in his Extras appearance. Daniel's role here is to try so hard to be hardcore and adult: by smoking, professing a certain type of experience, and so on. ;) Just as Orlando wouldn't stop going on about how he was completely hotter than Johnny Depp. Sorry, though while I know I'm supposed to think Johnny Depp is hotter than Orlando, I disagree completely, and for me, Orlando will always win hands down. Sure, Johnny's the better actor, but he just doesn't appeal to me the way Orlando does.

If you get the chance to see the bad-subs version of Order of the Phoenix: it is so cracked up. When the Dementors attack Harry in the first part of the movie, the subtitles go, "I've finally found you!" [Note the Dementors say nothing] Then when Harry's Howler comes to tell him he is expelled from Hogwarts, the subtitles say, "Come back to school immediately! I do not know what happened on the 23rd!" It's like the subtitlers didn't happen to have the audio track for the movie, and subbed the movie based on whatever they thought the characters might be saying.

Er....wow O_O I can't believe there's now a modern version of Beowulf. Having studied it just last year at school, I'm actually quite curious to see it XD (Funny how literature can change your point of view in a variety of ways.)

Lol, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry," eh. I like how Taiwanese theaters translate the title literally as, "When we GAY together." XDDDD I was pretty amused by that. :3

! You sure did a whole bunch of pretty good books in your studies! *beams*

I actually wanted to see it more before I saw the trailer. :( I thought it'd be live-action, and having it animated just... kinda takes away a lot of the OOMPH.

XD! Don't you just love Chinese translations? XDDD There is this "sex comedy" (self-described) that came out here recently, and its English title is "Who Slept With Her?" but in Chinese, its title is, "My Sex Teacher".

WHEN WE GAY TOGETHER INDEED. It's quite an accurate summary! BEST TRANSLITERATION OF ALL TIME FOR THE WIN.

I'd seen a lot of the linkes already, but the Daniel Radcliffe one is new to me! *dies laughing!* By the way, have you read this post-DH fic yet? sodiumion linked me to it last night and it's amazing! I loved it so much! :)

Oh oh oh! The art links are all broken when I'm looking at it, but I think I saw one of her stories before and loved the art. Not as into Lupin Jr. as you, so I don't think I have quite the LOVE for it: I think the fic works best if you love the characters, because the language doesn't quite give me the EXTRA LOVE I'd have needed to read a fic about characters I am so-so about. I AM WITH ALBUS SEVERUS LIKE YOU ARE WITH LUPIN, THOUGH!

WAS NOT THAT DANIEL POST A LOAD OF CRACK OR WHAT? Oversexed Harry Potter, indeed! Dan does have a very lovely voice in his PROPER scenes, though. ;)

Oh, I really like the Beowulf concept! First time I've seen the characters in an animated movie adopting the likenesses of their voice actors :D And, damn, but it took more than just one or two looks for me to believe that it was an animated movie xD;;

Will you have any free afternoons early next week, maybe to meet up for coffee and crack? :) *DOESN'T WANT TO LEAVE, damnit*

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO, TOO! *CRIES AND KICKS LIKE A SPOILT CHIBI KADAJ* *has to be dragged away from the airport, screaming KAASAN!!! KAAASAAAAAAN!!, leaving deep gouges on the floor and a trail of grievous bodily harm*

omg! the huge cardboard standups are so great, because they look REAL there, due to the ARTISTIC LIGHTING. But but it only SEEMS real when they artistically light it and cast shadow appropriately, so that to me it's not so much that it looks real, it's just that we fail to realise that it looks fake. T_T Still kinda want to see the movie too. ;)

It's the first time for me seeing characters adopting likenesses to such a striking degree. If you've watched Shark Tale, the animated aquatic creatures sort-of take certain features from their voice actors, but I agree, nothin' like Beowulf. ;)

YES! CERTAINLY! Monday class is regretabbly from 2 to 7-ish, but I'm free on Tuesday until my tutorial at 6pm. Wednesday I'm free all day! Thursday I have a tutorial at 6pm, but free all before that! ;) Let me know what other days are good for you and I'll let you know what school's like then?

Ohh, smilbe told me about Beowulf sometime ago too, perhaps i'll go watch that movie when it's released here. I hope people take screenshots of those bad dubs XD Personally I still loved the dubs found in Star Wars III: Backstroke of the West.

I'm kind of ambivalent about it since discovering it's animated. Doubtless I shall go to watch it, but if there are other really good movies out at the same time, I'll pass on Beowulf. Though I think it will look its best in cinemas: for best effects! ;)

XDDDDDD OH MAN, I HOPE SO TOO! I think we all know the LOTR Engrish Subtitles, which were great - and oh, I loved the Backstroke ones, I remember laughing so hard when I first found 'em! Thanks for the relink! ♥

If you liked the Extras stuff, you MUST see the featurettes with it. [The Asian edition is about 10 bucks cheaper than the import.] It's SO WORTH IT. Daniel Radcliffe is just the most adorable thing ever, he's all stuttery talking about acting naughty on the show. XD

Oh, no! They made their decision well before today's Life came into existence! They decided that they HAD to see the movie this Sunday past. One of the siblings actually made his decision on JUST the POSTER hanging from the fourth storey in Lido. The other read one of those brief "What's Coming Up Next" pamphlets lying around for free in Lido and CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION.

I wonder if there will be a Poltergay fandom. ;) Thing is, the movie's like Blades - gay enough, but straight enough? My brother was, "It's about four gay ghosts helping this guy win back his girlfriend!"

Oh, thank you for the Orlando link! I had made a note to self to look for the episode via torrent, but by the time the episode came out, the note apparently was lost in all my mental clutter. *wry grin*
